What's On Friday 9th March in Bristol

Events on Friday 9th March

“In many ways Insecure Men - the band led by the fiercely talented songwriter and musician Saul Adamczewski and his schoolmate and stabilising influence, Ben Romans-Hopcraft - are the polar opposite of the Fat White Family. Whereas sleaze-mired, country-influenced, drug-crazed garage punks the Fat Whites are a “celebration of everything that is wrong in life”, Insecure Men, who blend together exotica, easy listening, lounge and timeless pop music, are, by comparison at least, the last word in wholesomeness.”

“For Magoo's second live foray, we're very pleased to be bringing a delectable selection of funk, soul and psychedelia from across the country right down to our little corner of Bristol. You'd better have your dancing shoes handy, that's all we're saying...”

“Camilla Johns & Andy Nowak are an English acoustic duo that likes to have fun with American music, weaving together mandolin & guitar, & singing songs of heartache and longing. Class. www.johnsandnowak.com/”

“Revered on both sides of the pond, shapeshifting alt-country musician Karl Blau returns to Bristol. In the two decades or so of his active career, he has released dozens of records characterised by a healthy sense of curiosity and an unrelenting DIY attitude. His latest release, the critically acclaimed ‘Introducing Karl Blau’ (2016) that “shimmers with an enchanting beauty” (The 405), is a collection of reworked classic country and soul tunes – which turned out to be the ideal accommodation for Blau’s broad baritone vocals and blues guitar chops.”

“Thirteen years, six albums and a Mercury Prize-nomination on, Field Music’s meticulously-crafted pop/rock remains as beautifully unpredictable as ever. Sunderland brothers Peter and David Brewis lend their “inimitable, wiry energy” (Pitchfork) and Mackem twang to infectious melodies and “off-kilter song structures” (BBC). The result is “breezily fantastic” (Guardian), intricate and “flat-out fun to listen to” (AllMusic).”
